​The holiday season has ended. What do we do with that still-green (do they PAINT them?), needle-sharp (ouch!!), dry-but-too-sticky-to-touch (yuck!) Christmas tree? Looking around the neighborhoods, we see that many people just toss it to the curb and hope that it will disappear. (Just put a “free” sign on it, right?)

Some trash haulers will pick up the trees from their customers. Or you can haul it to a facility yourself. Either way, get rid of it before the end of January, or keep it until spring. Do we really want our trees going to the landfills?
